For example people from New Zealand. And when you say that you are Colorado-based, Colorado the response is "Oh John Denver!" Brown declared. Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist following a brief career performing in small folk music group comprised of Take Me Home Country Roads written by Bill Danoff.
